Unable to save prefs in Windows/Mac standalones

[charles61]

I have two stacks: a splash and an app stack (S504). I have a stack "prefs"
which is part of the app stack. The Prefs stack is not moved out as a
separate stack when the standalone is made. I used an installer to install
my program in the AllUsersAppData directory for windows Xp. 

When I run the installed Window app, I open the Prefs stack and entered
information into six fields: myCounty, school system, site, agent, contact
and email. I closed the Prefs stack and then quit my app. When I relaunched
my app, the fields cited above are not filled in my app. But I open the
Prefs stack, the fields are filled in. When I closed the Prefs stack, then
the fields in my app are filled. 

I would appreciate suggestions on how to correct this problem!

I have the following script in my Prefs stack:

on preOpenStack
   set the loc of me to the loc of stack "S504"
   loadPrefs
end preOpenStack

on closeStack
   saveprefs
end closeStack

on loadPrefs pFilename
   local tPrefs
   
   --   put url ("binfile:" & pFilename) into tPrefs
   IF the platform is "MacOS" 
   then 
      put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("preferences") & "/" &
"S504_prefs") into tPrefs
   end if
   
   IF the platform is "win32" 
   then 
      put url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "S504_prefs") into
tPrefs
   end if
   
   put arrayDecode(tPrefs) into tPrefs
   
   -- now fill in all my data...
   put tPrefs["county"] into field "myCounty" of card id 1002 of stack
"prefs"
   put tPrefs["county"] into field "school system" of card "referral" of
stack "S504"
   --   put tPrefs["county"] into field "site" of card "adult" of stack
